Do you constantly worry that your gear drivers are out of date?
Oh wait".that’s just me as a system admin, I worry and check my devices constantly.
internet cards, SCSI cards and much much more.
We should probably start off with what a gear driver is and when you gotta load drivers.
What do you do?
Well equipment Doctor can also identify and download the proper driver for unidentified items.
First trigger the installer and it will do its thing:
Click through and let it install.
When it completes, the app will launch automatically.
The user interface looks like this:
Go ahead and clickBegin Scanto let it scan your equipment’s drivers.
Once the scan is completed you will be presented with a full list of devices that need updating.
There is more - the software actually provides download links to grab the drivers that need updating.
They really take all the leg work out of this for you.
If a rig is unidentified the tool can still grab data from the card and check for drivers online.
This is super helpful when you do not know where to look for the correct drivers.
When you clickdownload updateit will take you to a webpage.
That page will contain information as well as the link to grab the driver.
This feature alone makes this much better than just Googling for the driver.
You will see a statement warning you to backup, create a restore point and instructions for doing so.
Good looking out unit Driver Guys!
grab the download driver installer link in the center of the page to initiate the download.
That will start the download like so:
execute the installer and revamp your drivers.
When my driver was updated, my mouse moves smoother!
It is easy to run this on a system to see where you stand.
Now I will preach a little bit about how important keeping your drivers up to date are.
Today in my web connection we upgraded a switch to giga bit speeds from 10/100.
One of our servers refused to connect at giga bit speeds.
What did we have to do?
We had to update the NIC drivers and then all of our problems were gone.
Instead it took another 20 minutes of my life and down time!
So kids keep your drivers updated!
When you don’t know what drivers you need, this can wind up being a MUST HAVE system!
